5 And they dreamed eyther of them in one night, both the butler and the baker of the kyng of Egypt, whiche were bounde in the pryson house, eyther of them his dreame, & eche mans dreame of a sundry interpretation. And one night they both dreamed—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation. each of the two men—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were being held in prison—had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.
6 When Ioseph came in vnto them in the mornyng, and loked vpon them, beholde they were sadde. When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled. When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were dejected.

So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, “Why are your faces downcast today?” So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8 They aunswered him: We haue dreamed a dreame, and haue no man to declare it. And Ioseph sayde vnto them: do not interpretinges belong to God? tell me I pray you. They said to him, “We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.” “We both had dreams,” they answered, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”

He said to him, “In my dream I saw a vine in front of me,
10 And in the vine were three braunches, and it was as though it budded, & her blossomes shot foorth: and the clusters therof brought foorth rype grapes. and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes. and on the vine were three branches. As soon as it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 And I had Pharaos cup in my hand, and toke of the grapes and pressed them in Pharaos cuppe, and deliuered Pharaos cuppe into his hande. Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.” Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup and put the cup in his hand.”
12 And Ioseph sayde vnto hym, this is the interpretatio of it. The three braunches are three dayes. Then Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days. “This is what it means,” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days.
13 For within three dayes shall Pharao lyft vp thine head, and restore thee into thine office agayne, and thou shalt deliuer Pharaos cup into his hande after the olde maner when thou wast his butler. In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh’s cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer.
